Chapter 22: The First Battle
In the silence of the forest, a young man dressed in black walked quietly, a pair of vigilant eyes constantly swept over the dark places in the surrounding trees, and his palms tightly grasped the weapon at his waist, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
This was the first time Ye Chen had entered this kind of desolate forest, looking at the huge ancient trees around him that were entwined with vines, it seemed that there were countless dangers lurking in them at a glance.
"This kind of deep mountain old forest that has existed for I don't know how many years has been there, weeds and vines are also dense, it is estimated that there is a demonic beast hidden ten meters away, and I can't see it with my eyes." Ye Chen thought about it, and his heart was stunned for a while.
Since it is to train himself, then it is impossible for Hu Lao to protect himself on the bright side, otherwise, with the strength of the former's half-step Dou Sect, Ye Chen would not have to fight the demonic beast by himself.
Not long after walking, Ye Chen had to stop.
At this time, directly in front of him, a magical beast more than two meters tall and four or five meters long in the shape of a red mane boar blocked his way.
"The fanged blood-maned beast, a third-order earth-attribute demonic beast, has infinite strength and amazing defensive power, even a strong Douling spirit can't resist it under the full impact!"
The information of this demonic beast instantly appeared in Ye Chen's mind.
The powerful soul power has brought Ye Chen a strong memory, since he was a child, he has been able to memorize the thick medicine scriptures of the family, and he also knows a lot about some magical beasts.
In the face of this kind of melee type of demonic beast, it was naturally impossible for Ye Chen, an alchemist, to carry it hard with the other party......
As the figure retreated, a silver flame rose directly from the palm of his hand, and immediately turned into a small silver snake in the rapid wriggling of his palm, and shot towards the big boar.
The blood-maned beast didn't care about this inconspicuous little thing at all, and directly lowered its head and rushed in the direction of Ye Chen......
Between the lightning and flint, the silver fiery snake slammed directly into the bloodmane beast's huge head.
Rumble!
A violent flame erupted in an instant, directly enveloping the bloodmane beast's big head.
A smell of burnt fur came out immediately, followed by the painful howl of the fanged bloodmane beast......
Ye Chen's Starfire was as powerful as the beast fire of a fifth-order demonic beast, so a mere third-order blood-maned beast couldn't resist Starfire's intense heat at all.
That is, this thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and the magic resistance is very high, otherwise it would have been able to shatter its head when the flame exploded just now.
Ye Chen hid in the branches of a big tree in the distance, watching from a distance as the huge body of the blood-maned beast below struggled on the ground and roared, and it took a quarter of an hour before it stopped.
At this time, everything within a radius of dozens of meters of the blood-maned beast had been razed to the ground, and the huge ancient trees that several people were hugging had directly broken their trunks, overwhelming a field of flowers and plants......
Ye Chen looked at the huge corpse of the blood-maned beast on the ground, and was thinking about whether to get some pork to taste, when Hu Tian, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly appeared and said in a deep voice: "The commotion just now is too big, the surrounding demonic beasts are all alarmed, you must leave immediately!" ”
Although he had already checked that there was no sixth-order Warcraft King in this forest, with Ye Chen's strength as a one-star Great Dou Master, he would not be able to resist a fourth- or fifth-order Warcraft encounter.
These words directly put an end to Ye Chen's idea of wanting to try something new, and even he could vaguely hear the roar of the beast coming from the dense forest in the distance......
Without any hesitation, Ye Chen jumped directly onto the trunk of the tree next to him, and deftly crossed the chaotic branches and vines across the road like an ape.
ran out of more than ten miles in a row, just when Ye Chen was about to stop and rest......
"I'll ......!!" Seeing a scene not far away, Ye Chen couldn't help but gasp.
On the ground more than ten meters in front of him, the corpses of more than a dozen people lay horizontally.
The corpses of more than a dozen people had not decomposed much at this time, but the traces of being bitten and swallowed on the corpses were very obvious, and even one of the male thighs was eaten in half, and his stomach was also eaten out of a big hole......
Looking at the bloody scene that suddenly appeared in front of him, Ye Chen's face turned a little pale, and his whole breathing stopped involuntarily.
"They should have died two or three days ago." Hu Tian's figure appeared beside Ye Chen again, carefully looking at the corpse on the ground, and said calmly on his face.
Although Ye Chen had been mentally prepared before leaving the family, suddenly seeing this bloody scene still made him feel faintly sick to his stomach.
Hu Tian felt quite normal in this regard, after all, a thirteen-year-old boy who had never left home to see the real cruelty of this world, it was the first time he saw this kind of scene, and it was already very good to be able to maintain calm on the surface.
"Young patriarch, take a closer look, there is an inconspicuous blood stain on the chest and heart of the corpses of these five people here, if my observation is correct, these five people should have been killed by humans, and they were killed by the same person."
While speaking, Hu Tian also pointed to the undead body in the west and introduced.
"There are other people, although their bodies have been confiscated and devoured a lot, but as long as you look closely, you can still find the wounds caused by different weapons, so this group of people was not killed by the demonic beast, but died at the hands of humans, and it may also be their own people who are traveling with them......"
Ye Chen listened to Hu Tian's introduction, and also endured the discomfort and looked at these corpses, which was indeed as the latter said.
"I originally thought that in such a dangerous forest, these people all died at the hands of demonic beasts, but I didn't expect to be killed by my own people......" Ye Chen shook his head silently and sighed.
Hu Tian's expression next to him was still calm, and he just spoke: "On the Zhongzhou Continent, the danger is never just demonic beasts, and the young patriarch must always keep this in mind!" ”
Ye Chen nodded, and kept Hu Tian's reminder firmly in his heart.
Whether it is in the original book or Ye Chen's memories of more than ten years, there is actually nothing about the lives of these low-level people in Zhongzhou......
Compared to the barren Northwest Continent and the Gama Empire, places like Zhongzhou are more dangerous and greater!
Especially for those "weak" below the king of fighting......
"Alright, let's keep going, there must be other dangers in this kind of place, and it is not advisable to stay for long."
After Hu Tian reminded him, the two of them hit the road again, shuttling through the dense woods.
The rest of the journey was much calmer, except for the occasional encounter with one or two demonic beasts, there were no more waves.
Ye Chen also made many moves, and dealt with some demonic beasts that were suitable for his own practice, and then also picked some rare elixirs until he crossed this mountain range......
